¿Qué es Ibuprofen?

El ibuprofeno es un medicamento antiinflamatorio no esteroideo (AINE) ampliamente utilizado para aliviar el dolor, reducir la inflamación y bajar la fiebre. Funciona inhibiendo las enzimas (COX-1 y COX-2) que median los procesos inflamatorios en el cuerpo, aliviando así los síntomas de condiciones como la artritis, el dolor menstrual, dolores de cabeza y lesiones menores. El ibuprofeno está disponible sin receta y con receta, y debe utilizarse bajo la guía médica para evitar efectos secundarios potenciales.
